Hi all
Thanks for your replies to my question.

I am not certain (also) if they had stripes, although many of the Cobra history type books carry photos with stripes.
I personally like the race car type look and to that end I have tried to replicate that look using a 427 body and building a chassis etc. in a Melbourne, Australia,. race shop.
Whilst the guys there mainly build drag cars and some circuit cars their expertise has assisted me in building a reasonable car.
Full harnesses, aluminium interior and race fittings assist with this aim of a race car type Cobra.
I will use the Guardsman blue colour with white stripes. Additionally I will run a light yellow stripe set over the front.
The variation in stripe thickness is only slight with a 1' inche change from lower back/front to the centre of the car. This does give the body a wider appearance. I have seen this done on one other car.
A number of cars have the additional small 1/4' stripe on either side of the bigger stripes. Personally I will not do this. I will however consider running the circle/gumball.
Well its to the paint shop. Will Post pictures when finished.
Cheers. Thanks again
Bernie
